LinkedGrow is an AI lead-generation agent for LinkedIn: it finds likely buyers, starts conversations from your account, and drafts and schedules posts — Pro at $59/month for two agents and up to 1,000 buyers contacted a month, Business at $89/month for three agents and a team workspace, both free for the first 7 days (pricing from their site as of September 2026 — check their site for current rates). It also ships a genuinely free headline analyzer that scores length, keywords, power words and clarity.

LinkedGrow's agents find likely buyers from live signals and open conversations for you — up to 1,500 a month on Business. Standout never messages anyone; it touches your profile only.
Multiple agents, a shared team workspace, conversation hand-offs, A/B testing and per-person reporting — if several people prospect from LinkedIn, that honestly earns the subscription.
A dedicated residential IP per account, capped messages per person, enforced gaps between actions and nothing on weekends — if an agent is going to act on your account, those limits are the right way to do it.
What it is.LinkedGrow is an AI lead-generation agent for LinkedIn: it finds likely buyers from live signals, warms them up and opens conversations from your account at a deliberately human pace, then hands you the replies that matter. Around the agents sit content tools — posts, carousels and scheduling — a unified reply inbox with instant email alerts, and CRM, API and MCP integrations. Two plans are offered (Pro and Business), and its site carries “Featured on” badges from G2 and SourceForge plus review links to Google, Trustpilot and G2.
What’s genuinely good.The safety limits are real and published: a maximum of 6 messages per person, one dedicated residential IP per LinkedIn account, an enforced 40–120 second gap between any two actions, and zero actions on weekends or public holidays — limits the agent cannot exceed on any plan (the vendor’s own description). The 7-day free trial runs the full agent — dedicated address and warm-up included — cancellation is one click, and your leads export as CSV. Its free headline analyzer is genuinely useful too: no signup, unlimited usage, and a preview of how your headline renders in LinkedIn search results, connection requests and comments.
The trade-offs, stated plainly.LinkedGrow is outbound by design: the agents act on your LinkedIn account and message prospects from it — that is the product’s purpose, and the published caps are the vendor’s answer to the caution any automation on your account deserves. Reviewing or rewriting your profile for recruiter search is simply not its product. And after the 7-day trial the plan renews monthly until canceled. If your gap is inbound — the profile recruiters see when they search — that piece is a $1 one-time fix: see a real sample report before you spend anything.
Two plans, verified numbers. Checked on linkedgrow.ai/pricing, September 2026: Pro is $59/month — two AI agents on two LinkedIn accounts, contacting up to 1,000 buyers a month, with an anti-slop gate on every message, a unified reply inbox with instant email alerts, CRM/API/MCP integrations and the content tools (posts, carousels, scheduling). Business is $89/month — everything in Pro, plus three agents on three accounts, up to 1,500 buyers a month and a team workspace with conversation hand-offs.
The trial is genuinely free — the plan then renews.Both plans are free for the first 7 days with the full agent running (dedicated address and warm-up included); per the vendor you are never charged during the trial, cancellation is one click, and your leads export as CSV. As of September 2026 the pricing page also advertises a “v2 launch — 30% off for 3 months” promotion; the list prices above are the figures that renew after any promo period. Everything — the dedicated address, the agent’s AI, the leads it finds, the four-week warm-up — is inside the subscription: “no second invoice, no credit allowance to ration, no per-seat maths” (the vendor’s own words).
What a year looks like. At list price, Pro renews at $708 a year and Business at $1,068 — plain multiplication of the verified monthly figures. The comparison that matters is the model: a monthly subscription for outbound agents, versus a single $1 charge for the profile audit.
The full agent runs for 7 days — dedicated address and warm-up included. Never charged during the trial, per the vendor.
Two AI agents on two LinkedIn accounts, up to 1,000 buyers contacted a month, plus the content tools. Renews monthly until canceled.
Everything in Pro, plus three agents on three accounts, up to 1,500 buyers a month and a team workspace with hand-offs.
One single charge for the full-profile audit with three paste-ready rewrites. No account, no subscription, nothing to cancel.

A real before-and-after from the audit — the same treatment your headline gets. The rewrite names the exact terms a recruiter types, then adds a proof point that earns the click.

Yes. LinkedGrow is a real AI lead-generation product for LinkedIn: its pricing page publishes both plans, the hard safety limits and the 7-day free trial openly, and its site carries 'Featured on' badges from G2 and SourceForge plus links to its Google, Trustpilot and G2 review profiles. This page is Standout's own comparison, and every claim on it was verified on linkedgrow.ai in September 2026.
LinkedGrow Pro costs $59/month — two AI agents on two LinkedIn accounts, contacting up to 1,000 buyers a month — and LinkedGrow Business is $89/month with three agents, up to 1,500 buyers a month and a team workspace. Both plans are free for the first 7 days, then renew monthly until canceled; as of September 2026 their pricing page also advertises a 'v2 launch — 30% off for 3 months' promotion (re-verified on linkedgrow.ai/pricing, September 2026). Standout's LinkedIn profile audit costs $1, one-time, with nothing to cancel.
Yes. Both plans are free for the first 7 days, and the full agent runs during the trial — a dedicated residential address and the four-week warm-up are included, and per the vendor you are never charged during those 7 days. After the trial, the plan you picked renews monthly until you cancel; cancellation is one click and your leads export as CSV. If you only need your profile fixed for recruiter search, Standout's full audit skips the trial-subscription cycle entirely: it costs $1, one-time.
No — LinkedGrow is a lead-generation product: AI agents that find likely buyers on LinkedIn and start conversations with them from your account, plus content tools for posts, carousels and scheduling. Reviewing or rewriting your profile for recruiter search is not its product. Standout does exactly that one job: a free 0–100 visibility score, then a $1 audit with three paste-ready rewrites.
LinkedGrow's own headline analyzer is free with no signup — it scores length, keywords, power words and clarity. Standout's free headline analyzer does the same job in about 10 seconds, also with no signup, and Standout's free full-profile score covers your whole profile, not just the headline. The one thing neither free tool includes is the rewrites — Standout's three paste-ready rewrites cost $1, one-time.
Never. Standout asks for your LinkedIn URL or pasted profile text only — no password, no connected account, nothing is ever posted, and no message is ever sent from your account. LinkedGrow's agents work the opposite way by design: they run on your LinkedIn account and contact prospects for you, with safety limits like a dedicated residential IP and capped message counts.
Three paste-ready rewrites built from your own profile: a keyword-optimized headline, a rewritten About section, and your top-3 experience bullets reworded for recruiter search — plus the 0–100 visibility score, which is free before you pay anything. Delivery is instant, the payment is one-time, and there is no subscription to cancel.
They solve different problems. If your goal is outbound — AI agents finding buyers and opening conversations from your account every day — LinkedGrow is built for exactly that, from $59/month. If your goal is inbound — recruiters finding your profile when they search LinkedIn — that fix is Standout's $1 one-time audit. Many sellers and founders benefit from both: outreach finds people, and a search-optimized profile converts the ones who look you up.
